491 TRL Software and 551 Savoy Computing Services have released the Arcady 7 and AutoTrack Junctions Link, an innovative solution that links two market-leading products. By dynamically linking and combining the two operations, the time taken to produce efficient and robust roundabout designs is significantly reduced. The link is initiated automatically and the two programmes communicate seamlessly with each other. Arcady 7 provides results such as RFC, level of service and values of queues and delays which are all displayed in Autotrack and updated in real time as changes to geometry are made.

Using the link between these two programmes, one single interactive environment has been created in which all relevant parameters are constantly updated; this allows an engineer to see immediate effects. The iterative nature of this new design process provides reduced design time, improved design efficiency and ultimately reduced costs.

    With an increasing need to use electric vehicles in city centres to reduce pollution, David Crawford looks at various solutions to power delivery. The UN’s September 2014 Climate Summit has added fresh momentum to the drive to increase urban electric vehicle (EV) takeup. It has launched the Urban Electric Mobility Initiative, which wants to see EVs accounting for 30% of all urban travel by 2030, and make cities worldwide more friendly to their use. Encouragingly, the plan is being well supported by commerci
